I recieved my BushMaster today and thus far must say I am very satisfied with the Rifle so far.

LIKES:

1. The exterior of the weapon appears flawless in the finish. I have one small mark on the barrel that can be reblued (from how the dealer stored the weapon). What kind of bluing would you use?

2. Break down of the weapon was great. All the parts fit tightly together. Great mill work.

3. I will make another post after my new sights (Trijion ACOG, ARMS rear #40, and flip front) arrive and give an evaluation of the grouping and handling of the weapon.

DISLIKES:

1. I thought the Rifle was suppose to come with a sling and 10-round Mag, but mine didn't? I called today and ordered a new 3 position sling, so I guess it is no great loss. I already have 10-30 round mags, but one more ten would be great?

2. The plastic case had two cracks in it. They need to use a better grade of plastic.

3. I wish they would supply a plastic case that could fit optics like a Trijion ACOG. Anyone who purchases a flat top is bound to be putting something like this on the weapon and thus it only makes since to supply a wider case.

Overall I am very satisfied and will report on the weapons usefulness hopefully later in the week.

Every Bushmaster I have ever gotten has come with a sling, a manual, a 10 round mag (one came with 2 ten rounders) and a case. Did you get it from a shop? Sometimes I have seen shops steal the magazine and lower the price a little.

You can get the Birchwood-Casey pens to match either a traditional blue finish or a gray finish for military rifles. I bought my Bushmaster from a friend who tried to install a non-standard trigger guard. The roll pin got stuck and the trigger guard took some scratches getting the stupid thing out. I used the gray pen and it isn't perfect but it is close.
